Army Officers Gone Wrong.

FIVE IN A 1kAh-l16UT. WILCOX THE LATEST.
The habit OF duplicating pay accounts by army
officers has received fresh impulse and is becom-
ing epidemic. The latest accession to the ranks
OF financial crooks In the army is Lieut.. j. H. Will
COX, 7th cavalry, none OF whose pay accounts have
been paid for two months. He has been arrested
in st. Louis and sent to Fort Smelling to be tried
by cOurt-marttal. This makes five army officers

that the practical desertion of five army Officers

LUXURIES AT PUBLIC EXPENSE.
Some Specimen Items From the Ac-
counts Of the Visitors to the Naval
Academy.

In the House Of Representatives sometime ago
detailed account Of the expenditures OF the vsi-
tors to the United States Naval Academy for the
fiscal year 1885 was read and 1t called out some
lively criticism. The expenses were made up
largely OF such items as Hennessy brandy, hour
bon whisky, cigars, etc. Not only was the char
acter OF the expenditures censured in the House,
but the press OF the country commented severely
upon the visitors for their extravagant mode of
living at the public expense. But the exposure
did not work any reforms. The board OF visitors
to the naval academy last year followed the ex-
ample OF their predecessors of the year previous
in the matter or luXureS paid for out OF the public
treasury. Their bill for eatableS and drinkableS
amounted to s., OF. SO, and was made ul of such
items as the following: Five dozen frogs legs,
$3.50; six terrapin, $40; one bunch bananas $225
one dozen pine apples, &l.4O; two bushels peas,
$3.50; one box ofahgeA So; one box lemons, $3.50;
Ice cream, $40: cake, S. 10; Roman punch, $3 tve
dozen sweet breads, 80; sixty bottles apOllinaris
water, $3.50; 100 Re1na Victoria cigars SIS; three
bottles Hennessy brandy, $50; three and one
third cases Xxx whisky, $780, Chilling sherry, $50;
claret, $2S; two and One-half dozen beer, $i52:
25O bouquet cigars, so; 100 Rena victorias, s22;
800 Londres cigars, $50; 100 .COnchas, $3.50; two

ST. PAUL, MIMI, March ia Pioneer Press
special from Bismarck, Dak., dated yesterday,
gives the following particulars OF the flood: The
most serious damage was that to the high trestle
OF the Northern Pacific at the western end or the
bridge. The ice knocked out several bentS OF the
underpinning. Even II the water recedes tonight
it will be impossible TO resume travel without
transfer, as at least a mile OF track between the
bridge and Mandan is swept away. All the tele-
graph wires between the bridge and Mandan are
also down and the poles swept away. There is no
means OF communication whatever between Bis
marck and Mandan. The Pacific express arriving
here at noon returned TO St Paul on regular schcd-
ule time OF the Atlantic express from The west to
night. An attempt has been made 70 break the
gorge at Sfbley island by dynamite, but thus Tar
without avail, although over f1ye hundred pounds
have been used. Several houses on the low lands
have been swept away, and tonight a rescu1ng
party are out with a boat for Mike Feemer and q
man named Beal and two women who are known
to be surrounded by water five miles below here.
Word was brought OF their periious condition by
Paul Herman, husband OF one OF the women, who
himself had to swim long distance and wade In
water up to his breast over two miles. The
weather is cool and it is freezing little tonight.

each OF these powers on an equality. All three

SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT TAXES.
The Property Against Which Lien
Certificates are held.
1T WILL NOT BE SOLD UNTIL THE TINE OF THE
GENERAL TAX SALE.

1T WILL NOT BE SOLD UNTIL THE TINE OF THE
GENERAL TAX SALE.
The question of the demand OF the First National
bank, of New York, through william York Atlee,
its attorney, that certain property against which
1t holds lien certificates for rSpecialimprOvenlent
taxes should be sold was referred to the attorney
OF the District, by Commissioner Webb. in q COM
munication saying: "The question in this case
seems to be whether sales to satisfy lien certificates
come within the ruling in the Brewer case, and
whether all unpaid taxes will be released by the
sale and deed Hereunder"
Attorney Riddles opinion is as follows: eThe
Brewer case arose under the District act of June
%, 1873, which authorized the District to antici-
pate the general tax by the issuance OF
eercates ,fh ate ra,i Of when not paid
sale If still remaining unpaid, the same as in the
case OF certificates for improved special assess
ments. The court held that the owner was en-
titled to have sale on demand within a reason
able time. It also held that when sale on these
was dema nded the collector should include in his
land then due. The law requires this in all ad-
verttsements OF delinquent lands-has always been
my holding: Now, when it is remembered that
the act OF May 10, 1871, which authorizes sales
under certificates OF Indebtedness requires that
special assessments shall be collected as the gen.
eral taxes on lands are it is seen that when land
Is advertised under certificate OF assessment it
should include all delinquent taxes due on the
same property, otherwise under the Brewer case

be lost. Now, ii we are near time for advertise
ment OF the general list, delinquent, would de-
fer and include Mr. Aulees list on it, otherwise ad-
vertise specially and include all taxes due on the
same land to date"
Commissioner webb stated to STAR reporter
to-day that the property In question will probably
De listed IN and included in the sale for general
taxes.
WHEN THE SALE WILL TAKE PLACE
The board OF commissioners decided this after
noon that the sale Of the property must be de-
ferred until the time for that OF the general taxes
and have written Mr.. Atlee to this effect. The
sale VIII not, therefore, take place until Septem-
ber 1St next. :.
The amounts OF the lien certificates vary in
amount from $:34 to 81 100
